Tender Popovers are a classic American breakfast food, with a light and airy texture that is similar to a Yorkshire pudding. These pastries are traditionally made in a popover pan, which gives them their distinctive tall and round shape. They are perfect for brunch or breakfast, and can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as butter, jam, honey, or even savoury fillings such as ham and cheese. Tender Popovers are a great way to impress guests, but can also be a fun and easy weekend project for home cooks looking to try something new.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 220°C.
2.	Sift together flour and salt into a large bowl
3.	In another bowl, beat the eggs at high speed with an electric mixer until pale and frothy
4.	Add the milk to the eggs and whisk until combined
5.	Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth and uniform
6.	Pour the batter into a muffin tin or a large baking dish greased with butter
7.	Quickly put the tin or dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes
8.	Serve immediately, with butter and jam or honey

PROS

Popovers are delicious and simple to make, requiring only a few basic ingredients
They are versatile and can be served sweet or savoury, depending on your preferences

CONS

Popovers can be tricky to get just right, especially for inexperienced home cooks
They require a hot oven and little to no opening of the door during baking
They are best consumed shortly after baking, as they can lose their texture and flavour if stored for too long

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Popovers are a good source of protein, thanks to the eggs and milk used in the batter
They are also relatively low in fat and sugar, making them a healthier option than many other breakfast and brunch foods
